RE: Configure Ethernet over MPLS with Different Custo mers using the s ame VLAN

Thinking out loud…..since these are trunk ports, once the MPLS label is prepended to the packet at the PE, the duplicate customer VLANs shouldn’t matter anyway since they won’t be seen after they are encapsulated?

One more clarification, the access ports need to be 802.1q trunk ports.

 

Thanks again.

Subject: [MPLS-OPS]: Configure Ethernet over MPLS with Different Customers using the s ame VLAN

 

Hello Folks,

 

We are implementing a Metro Ethernet network using Cisco 6500 series MPLS switches with the core connected with 10GigE cards. This is a service provider network configured for EoMPLS (Martini Draft) and will have some customers using the same access VLANs.

With a Layer 2 access configuration, what is the best configuration to accomplish this? QinQ? We have no problem using unique VLANs on the PE side but need to ensure that customer access VLANs can overlap each other on the same PE switch.

Any input is much appreciated.

 

Thanks.
